- 8 lane I-10 between MRB and College Drive
Kinda pointless and probably cost prohibitive.
since the gas tax didn't pass, you are going to see the state almost stop doing capacity projects and just do maintenance.

What about the current gas tax use then? Where is that money going.

Absolutely not pointless. That's the biggest choke point in the state right now and is the direct cause of daily traffic jambs and frequent accidents.
Widening that 5 mile stretch of I-10 is a priority for the state, and is absolutely critical to get traffic moving in the capital region again.

Everything is cost prohibitive when you are broke and spend your money on stupid shite. That doesn't change the fact that the decking, lighting, and lane configuration hasn't been updated since it was originally constructed in 1960. There are no shoulders for most of it, no sound walls, poor alignment, and not enough lanes. There's another 650,000 people in the Baton Rouge metro now as well as a significantly higher number of long haul trucks that have no alternative but I-10 and I-12 through Baton Rouge.
